Abstract
Most useful waveguide devices use a series of waveguide transitions or junctions where the cross section of the waveguide structure changes in the direction of propagation. For example, transitions are typically placed on both sides of a phase shift region to form an electrooptical switch. The performance of the switch in terms of extinction ratio and crosstalk depends critically on how well those transitions perform their intended function. To understand and optimize device performance it is therefore useful to be able to predict the transmission characteristics of waveguide transitions and junctions.
